The ser number orientation is interesting to say the least Dean what do you think, Gary

029-97
 

Now that I look the for end numbering is unusual, I will send photos of the for end and brls, Gary

Ser 97
 

Now, 97

Thanks for the pictures - you have confirmed my suspicions that serial numbers on water tables may have been stamped to be read from the opposite side of the gun than we are accustomed to do.

So, if the serial number hadn't been stamped on the right side water table of 066 or 66 and only stamped in reverse as illustrated in your picture, on the left side water table..... they could easily be read as 99 and 990....
